Papillon
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Make our escape, you're my own papillon.
The world turns too fast, feel love before it's gone.
It kicks like a sleep twitch!
My papillon, feel love when it's shone.
It kicks like a sleep twitch!
Darling, just don't put down your guns yet,
If there really was a God here,
He'd have raised a hand by now.
Now darling, you'll both get old and die here,
Well that's quite enough for me ,
We'll find our own way home somehow.
No sense of doubt, of what you can achieve.
Well I've found you out, I've seen the life you wish to lead.
But, when it kicks like a sleep twitch!
You will choke, choke on the air you try to breathe.
It kicks like a sleep twitch!
Darling, now just don't put down your guns yet,
If there really was a God here,
He'd have raised a hand by now.
Darling, you'll both get old and die here,
Well that's quite enough for me dear,
We'll find our own home somehow.
It kicks like a sleep twitch!
It kicks like a sleep twitch!
Darling, just don't put down your guns yet,
If there really was a god here,
He'd have raised a hand by now.
Darling, well you are born, get old and die here,
Well that's quite enough for me, dear,
We'll find our own way home somehow.
